Petitioners object to the proposed purchase of land adjacent to the colored high school in Leesburg, Virginia, which borders the Union Cemetery and U.S. Route 15. They express concern that the location is unsuitable for future expansion of facilities for Black students, as only a few children attending the school live north of Market Street. The petition argues that the land would be better reserved for the cemetery’s expansion and that a school site should instead be located closer to the main Black residential community.
